Women in History: Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG)
Taken from her documented life story, actress and playwright Juliette Regnier narrows the wide epic shot of Justice Ginsburg's extraordinary life, focusing the lens and imagining her right here, right now. In the realm of "the other side of life," RBG takes us through four-arm planks, The Taj Mahal, Marty's casseroles, the passion of Dvorak and into the harmful effects of unconscious gender bias. A light lunch will be served at noon with the performance to follow at 1:00 p.m.
